baby shower gift with

My name is Barbara and I was born and raised in the Bronx, NY. Over the years, I have grown to become very passionate about the journey of motherhood and the experience of what it is like to become a mother. I believe becoming a mother in a woman's life is such a unique, emotional, and breathtaking experience. It is something that I have always desired to be. In my free time, I enjoy studying and learning about anything regarding pregnancy and the journey from conception to when a baby finally comes into the world. This passion of mine came directly from my mother. 
 
At a very young age, I discovered that my mother gave birth to a boy. At the age of two, my brother, who is two years older than me was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. A condition in which a group of disorders affect a person's ability to move and maintain balance and posture. As a result, my brother was not able to live a normal life. He was eventually moved to go live in a Children’s Medical Center up until his demise at the age of 17 years old. I watched my mother undergo a lot of pain as a result of his condition. Since she had immigrated to the U.S. from Ghana, she lacked a lot of resources, support, and care she needed at this time. A support system that is crucial to mothers during her first, second, and third trimester and even during her postpartum stage.

ABOUT

The Owner

Fast forward to February of 2021, I had found out that one of my close friends, Rhoda, was about to give birth to her fourth child(my godson). Being the creative and out of the box person that I am, I desperately wanted to give her a gift that was going to WOW her mind. I decided to put my mind and hands to work and created a handcrafted gift I know she would not only love, but cherish for a very long time.

This is where {Siisi Crates} was born. Siisi Crates is named in honor of my brother who never had the chance to live like I did. Siisi is the name my parents gave to him when he was born. It is a name given to a Fante boy or girl who is born on a Sunday.

“I loved the whole idea of my baby’s name on it.
It was so unique to me and to see the amount of items I had at my disposal was really beautiful. I felt like I had a variety of products that my baby would need. It was more than just receiving one baby item. To receive this crate as a gift was so different and I had never seen something like this before”

Flora A.

"It was so beautiful! I had never seen something like this before. I was just fairly two weeks shy of delivering and I had not purchased anything for my newborn yet and to receive this bundled crate customized with my son name on it was really beautiful. It had everything a mother would need. I was able to save time on hunting for these items. I even filled my hospital bag with some of the items as well. I have now kept the crate for my son to keep in the future"


Rhoda

“My first impression upon seeing the crate was “wow this is beautiful!”; I mean my jaw dropped because of how creative, neat, and exquisite it looked. The precision and attentiveness to detail is evident when looking at the crate! I love everything about my crate, but I think my favorite part of all this, is how personalized it is to each individual and that’s what makes these crates soo special. I have actually never come across anything like this and I think it is genius!! Well done Barbara”
